Cutting-edge user experiences for Android™
18/11/2008 >
Digital Airways’ User Interface brings the glamour of cutting-edge user experiences to the Android™ platform
![]() For immediate release: Paris, France, November 18th, 2008.
Mobile software specialist Digital Airways announces the availability of Kaleido for Android™, a turnkey solution that brings an instant cutting-edge user experience to Google’s Android™ platform, paving the way for handset manufacturers to differentiate in an efficient and cost-effective way.
The availability of Android™ represents a fundamental change in the mobile industry as the first feature-rich open source application framework. It marks a shift of the competition from hardware to software: “Vendors who have prepared themselves for this radical change will find themselves in a better position than those who continue to differentiate their products on the basis of hardware.” Says Malik Saadi, principal analyst at Informa.
For all actors embracing the Android™ platform, the ability to individualize through innovative and distinctive user experiences remains challenging: Tools provided by Android™ still require laborious and costly efforts to create a user experience that is up to the industry’s highest standards, such as the iPhone™ or Samsung’s TouchWiz™.
With Kaleido for Android™, such user experience is available now. Based on its widely deployed Kaleido technology, it takes full advantage of the Android™ framework to offer a sophisticated user experience based on rich content, multi-touch, widgets, 3D, sophisticated animations and visual effects. Says Digital Airways’ CEO and co-founder Philippe Silberzahn: “Kaleido provides handset manufacturers instant access to a full user experience platform that meets the highest industry standards.”
Kaleido also provides handsets makers with a single, unified development environment to ease customization and extension of such cutting-edge user experiences without heavy-handed coding, ensuring shorter time to market and cost effectiveness.
Silberzahn adds: “Kaleido for Android™ is the user experience solution that manufacturers need on the Android™ platform to differentiate and build on their respective branding.”

Une solution d'interface utilisateur de pointe pour Android
18/11/2008 >
Digital Airways apporte le glamour d’une expérience utilisateur de pointe à la plate forme Android™
![]() Pour diffusion immédiate: Paris, le 18 novembre 2008. Le spécialiste français du logiciel pour téléphonie mobile Digital Airways annonce la disponibilité de Kaleido pour Android™, une solution intégrée qui offre immédiatement une expérience utilisateur de pointe à la plate forme mobile Android™ de Google, permettant aux fabricants de se différencier de manière efficace et rentable.
L’introduction d’Android™ représente un changement fondamental dans l’industrie mobile en rendant disponible le premier système complet offert en accès libre. Il marque une évolution de la concurrence du matériel vers le logiciel. « Les fabricants qui se préparent à ce changement radical se retrouveront dans une meilleure position que ceux qui continuent à miser sur le matériel pour se différencier » indique Malik Saadi, analyste principal du cabinet Informa.
Pour tous les fabricants adoptant Android™, la capacité à se différencier et à mettre en avant leur marque au travers d’une expérience utilisateur innovante et distinctive reste cependant difficile : les outils offerts par Android™ nécessite des efforts longs et coûteux pour créer des expériences utilisateurs du niveau des meilleurs standards de l’industrie tels que l’iPhone™ d’Apple et TouchWiz™ de Samsung.
Avec Kaleido pour Android™, une telle expérience utilisateur est disponible immédiatement. Basée sur sa technologie Kaleido largement déployée, Kaleido pour Android™ tire pleinement avantage de la plate forme Android™ pour offrir une expérience sophistiquée basée sur les contenus riches, les widgets, la 3D, les animations et les effets visuels. Selon Philippe Silberzahn, dirigeant et cofondateur de Digital Airways, « Kaleido offre aux fabricants un accès immédiat à une expérience utilisateur complète qui correspond aux meilleurs standards de l’industrie. »
Kaleido apporte également aux fabricants un environnement de développement unifié qui leur facilite l’adaptation et l’extension d’expériences utilisateurs sans programmation lourde, ce qui garantit une disposition rapide et une maîtrise des coûts.
Comme conclut Philippe Silberzahn « Kaleido est la solution d’expérience utilisateur qu’il faut aux fabricants ayant choisi Android™ pour se différencier et mettre en avant leur marque ».

Solution enables handset manufacturers to offer 3D user experiences and develop product differentiation ![]() For immediate release: Paris, France, June 25th, 2008 – Taking advantage of the OpenGL-ES standard, Kaleido 3D responds to handset manufacturers’ challenges in developing sophisticated 3D graphics for user interfaces and product positioning by providing a multi-platform UI framework and a library of pre-integrated customizable functions all aimed at simplifying the creation of such UIs.

Together, they facilitate the creation of animated backgrounds, 3D moving objects (buttons, indicators…), splash screens, wizards (help, notification of events…), dynamic menus, transition between contexts (sliding, fading in and out, torsion…), management of layers (alpha blending), etc. For more information: Denise Anderson |
